CANES ROLL OVER FLYERS IN HOME OPENER
CAROLINA 
After a long off season full of anticipation and excitement, the Carolina Hurricanes came out victorious in their season opening home game. The Canes, led by gifted sniper Alexei Kovalev, picked up a W by exploding for 5 goals over the pesky Philadelphia Flyers.
“This was a pretty solid game to start the season off with,” said head coach Joel Quenneville. “We try and set up some plays and keep the opposing team in check, but sometimes, a lot of things just fall in the right places. I think it was a solid team effort and kudos to Theodore for making the saves when he had to.”
Jose Theodore, the savvy netminder, stopped 20 of 22 shots faced in the contest. Rugged defender Jay McKee was also a standout blocking 7 shots himself.
“We need to step up like that every game,” said McKee. “Winning games is not just about scoring goals. Tonight, our team came to play and made life difficult in our end as well.”
Slick defender Oleg Tverdovsky, defense partner of McKee, ended with 2 points and had a team high +4 rating at the end of the game. Pascal Rheume and Cory Stillman also added two points each.
Canes next game is against the rival Washington Capitals.
